Appliances can be super expensive and when it comes to some of them, like a washer and dryer, the more expensive ones may not actually save you money (compared to a laundromat) in the long run. It is important when purchasing your own appliances to find good deals. Often the larger the appliances are, the harder it is to find good deals on them. That is why I am moderately pleased with Lowes weird Boxing Day in July sale.

You can pick these up in store (see store locator here) for free, or they must ship via truck delivery if you live within 100 kms of a Lowes. See their shipping page for more details.
